There's always time to smell the roses!

This past Friday and Saturday we had all our dress fittings for the Miss Happ models but although the Miss Happ ladies are hard at work getting everything ready for our Fashion show on Wed, there's always time to play, and in between fittings we even managed a few impromptu photos with one our models, the Darling songbird Miss Shannyn Fourie.

As always girls having fun!

It's all in the name

Sunday Miss Happ Trivia: 



Did you know where the Miss Happ name came from? Miss Hap (one P) is the name of the oldest (and still flying) B25 Medium size Bomber that flew in the retaliation against Pearl Harbour during WWII and was named after General Hap. She now lives in the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY.

The name was perfect for a clothing brand with classic American roots and a WWII inspiration. Now you know!

Enjoy your Sunday lovelies!

Miss Happ in Vegas baby!

Help the Miss Happ girls make it to Vegas so that we can take a little bit of Africa to the 2015 VIVA LAS VEGAS ROCKABILLY FASHION SHOW & CAR SHOW in LAS VEGAS, USA!

As one of only a handfull of clothing brands to be accepted onto the 2015 fashion show, MISS HAPP is the ONLY Rockabilly brand all the way from CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, and we NEED YOUR HELP to make our Rock n' Roll DREAMS COME TRUE!
Miss Happ is the first ever South African (and African) Rockabilly clothing brand to showcase at this globally recognized festival with over 22 000 people from all over this great planet attending the event.

For the 2015 Fashion show Miss Happ will be taking a team of three lovely ladies to not only represent the brand on the catwalk but to also represent and promote a Rockabilly culture that is growing rapidly in South Africa to a truly international market.
